In this episode, we’ll explore the significant improvements in public health in 19th-century Britain due to government intervention. We’ll discuss the 1848 Public Health Act, which marked the beginning of these efforts, and how the "Great Stink" of 1858 compelled Parliament to construct London’s sewer system. We’ll examine the impact of the 1867 Second Reform Act, which expanded voting rights for working-class men and incentivized living condition improvements. Finally, we’ll highlight the 1875 Act that mandated clean water, sewage systems, and rubbish collection, showcasing how various factors contributed to these public health advancements.
